Spanish Settlement. After the discovery of Cuba by Christopher Columbus at october 28 of 1492, the spanish settlement started in the Island. The Colonizers arrived and once and for all they imposed customs, culture and ways, that anything had to see with who they constituted the autochthonous population until then.
Cuba was inhabited by Amerindian tribes before the landing of explorer Christopher Columbus in 1492, who claimed it for the Kingdom of Spain. Cuba remained a colony of Spain until the SpanishâAmerican War of 1898, after which it gained nominal independence as a de facto U.S. protectorate in 1902.
